[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16615329, member: 70025"] Okay, On Saturday my body guy got there bright and early and told me that all the work I did during the week put us ahead of schedule. Remember I had said it would take us 3 Saturday's to do this? Well, the work I did made up for one of the Saturdays. So, my body guy asked me to point out all the spots I missed and he fixed them. Then I unwrapped the car to take off all the old plastic that had body filler and primer dust on them. Had to put new plastic and re-tape areas to get it ready for paint. While I was doing that my body guy was sanding the engine bay with 400 grit. Then we cleaned everything up and got ready to spray. Holy _ _ _ _!!!! I can't believe this is going to happen LOL...... Okay, car all taped up and engine bay cleaned. My body guy decided to hit the top of the cowl with 1000 grit and we are going to respray it is it did look a "little" dry from the previous paint job. However, we need to build up the color in the engine bay first. When we give the engine bay its final coat we will spray the cowl at that time. [ATTACH=full]1701910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1701911[/ATTACH] In this picture you can see the A-pillar is also exposed. We are going to blend into this area on both sides. [ATTACH=full]1701912[/ATTACH] Okay, since these are my materials and I'm familiar with them (from spraying the diecast Terminators) I did all the mixing and prep work. Then I handed the gun to my body guy and we went to town. Even I got to spray on this. So, I did do spraying too LOL. [ATTACH=full]1701915[/ATTACH] Here we go (Notice the cowl is covered). Color being laid down. SWEET! I officially started this project on May 26, 2020 and color went down on May 1, 2021. [ATTACH=full]1701916[/ATTACH] Here she is after 2 coats of paint. Time to unwrap the cowl and shoot the final coat of color. [ATTACH=full]1701917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1701918[/ATTACH] Here the cowl is uncovered and the third coat of paint has been applied. [ATTACH=full]1701919[/ATTACH] Man, the color is a perfect match to the car. I'm so stoked.... [ATTACH=full]1701920[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
